Comments about IPFire as a Alternative to IPCop
Most users think IPFire is a great IPCop alternative.
Guest
It's really actively developed and additionally in a country not under direct control of the NSA or GCHQ respectively. As IPCop seems to be dead (no new version since some 2 years) IPFire has taken the best of IPCop and made it very much better.

It is a direct derivative / spin-off off of IPCop and therefore featues ALL of what IPCop used to offer and then even some more! And it is actively maintained and developed.
